Folks come here for different reasons... fuel economy (using as little fuel as possible) is one, price economy (spending as little money for transportation) is another, ecological reasons (reduction of non-renewable resource use, and reduction of greenhouse and other non-desirable waste) is another. Biodiesel fits in there neatly, though I think few members are familiar enough with it to maintain a discussion.

The energy for electrics has to come from somewhere... Often from coal. An electric vehicle can use the energy just as inefficiently as a vehicle using any other kind of fuel as energy. So I can't entirely agree with that statement.

Just FYI - Biodiesel is not the same as veggie oil... it is derived from veggie oil, but it is not veggie oil.
